Begin Again Beta Version (Hello 2015!)

December 31, 2014

Warning: this is not
a movie review. A few more hours we will all begin another year. Am I going to
celebrate? Absolutely. Why? I love fireworks. Period.

I don’t want to go UBER sentimental on how my 2014 went,
trust me it has never been this bizarre. I don’t want to over analyze things
either, go back and reflect on what happened each and every single day of the
past year, when all things have already been said and done. Lessons learned on
wanting more and giving back. On pleasing people. On putting yourself first. Blahblahblahblah.

So for a change, I am listing a few things I want to do for
2015 because I haven’t done anything like this before. Inshallah, I can get all
these done before the year ends next year (crossing fingers).

1.Skydive
– I have fear of heights and I think if I do this activity, I might overcome
this fear. And it’s a must-try activity in Dubai, so why not give it a try.

2.Enroll in
a dance class – I really want to learn salsa. Or Kizomba. Any
foreign dance with good beat. (I’m also considering tango and ballet, strange
right?)

3.Learn to
play one musical instrument – my roommate has an electronic keyboard at our
apartment which keeps us busy on weekends. But I want to learn how to read the
notes and how to play using two hands. I’m also considering violin/cello
classes. I just they’re cool.

4.Write and
record one song – I was inspired to do this because of our regular weekend
karaoke night (which got our flat in trouble a couple of times already, maybe I
should write something about it).

5.Go out of
the UAE thrice – this will happen for sure because I’ve listed itineraries
already, so excited!

6.Learn how
to roller skate – yes, don’t laugh. I don’t know how to use roller skates.
*inserts eyeroll here*

7.Buy an
oven – I cook sometimes. And cooking makes me feel awesome. And the last
time we made a dough from scratch, it felt awesome.

8.Buy a
polaroid camera.

9.Get Cancan
a new lens – been wanting to buy one, I’m freakin’gonna do it this year.

10.Or get a new camera instead.

11.Watch Ed Sheeran live – he’s coming to
Dubai this 2015!

12.Get a tattoo – papa will surely be mad
about it but he will understand, hihi.

20.Make at least 25 outfit posts – excuse thy
vanity, I think it’s about time to expose the fancy finds in my closet. And
promise, they are not expensive!

These are the first 20 and I guess I might add up more, we
really never know. I do things randomly without even having seconds thoughts. As the song goes from Begin Again, "Best laid plans sometimes are just a one night stand." I'd rather make the most out of all the things that come my way rather than stop, over-think, over-analyze, and miss an opportunity. Never again.

I am a die hard fan of crafts and budget travels. Child by heart, half a jet-setter, and spontaneous on some occasion. Yes, my straw always come with a pair just because. And if you don't see a ring on my finger, I'm late.

Hi. My name is Jhoysi and I love the online world as much as you do. I blog about my personal travels, the kind of lifestyle I am living in Dubai, and food - which I love the most. Follow my online diary, as I walk you to the city where I am currently staying.
